Ashley, 18, and Brandon Holbrooks, 15, on the patio of their step-grandfather's apartment in Glendale. The siblings moved in with their step-grandfather after their mom died, possibly from an asthma attack, during the Christmas break. Her funeral is Saturday. Their father committed suicide three years ago. They are looking to the community for help with funeral and moving expenses.
